Any chance this comes with Win 8.1 Pro?

My same model # has 8.1 Pro, yes. Can't remember if it came with 7 Pro and rebuilt with the included 8.1 Pro Lenovo discs. From previous answer I believe that's what I did. You'll need an external DVD drive.

mine did not and believe that you have to go to a different model. BTW, had to send mine in for service and was pleased with the repair and quick turnaround time. Win 8.1 not so sure of.

Yes, it does. Because there is no cd/dvd drive in the Pro, you must download the Windows 8 drivers and software from HP's website to install them on the Pro.

Sadly, even though it is a ThinkPad it comes with the non-Pro version of Win 8.1.

Actually you need to upgrade Windows 8 to 8.1 before you can install the pro version (the upgrade to 8.1 from 8 is free). The pro pack box just has an authorization code in it to download and activate the pro features. You actually have to initiate the pro upgrade from the Windows 8.1 control panel and then enter the code so with a previous version of Windows (or none at all) there is no way to initiate the install.

Can verify that it works on Windows 8.1 Pro. So it should work on 8.1, as the specs state no additional drivers are needed.

Mine came with Win7 Pro and I could also have installed Win8 instead. That was some time ago as they had to provide dual paths as Win8.0 had serious issues - Win8.1 has really improved versus the original 8.0 Win7 Pro is VG operating system, Pro is premium. Love the machine after year of use.

Windows 7 Pro came pre-installed with upgrade disks for windows 8. The original 'load' was very basic with not many add-ons(nice).

No, unfortunately it only comes with horrible Windows 8 pre-installed. You will need to get a copy of Office or subscribe to the cloud version.

Pro Surface has Pro Windows, the name says it all, and don't hesitate to upgrade to 8.1 Pro it is a nice improvement.

My system came installed with Windows 7 Pro and also came with Windows 8 Pro DVDs. So, it comes with both.

Yes, the one I got on January 9 came with pre-installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, and it contained Windows 8 system recovery disks, which I suppose you would later use to upgrade to Windows 8.

The one I ordered came with 8.1. It included a copy of MS Office. The windows8.1 Pro version does not include the office software

I believe it came with 8.1 but we upgraded ours to 8.1 Pro through the MS store for $99

Not sure what it came with. I thought Windows 8 but I was able to upgrade to 8.1 PRO for free. I checked the little documentation that came with the unit and it does not state what OS it included when I purchased it.
